PIN-TICKET.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented May 1, 1917.

Application fi1ed July 29, i913. Serial No. 781,727.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, WILLIAM LIVINGSTON, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of the city, county, and State of New York, have invented new and useful Improvements in Pin-Tickets, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to pin-tickets, particularly to that type of pin ticket having a wire bent upon itself to form a doubleshank pin with round point.

My invention is particularly addressed to the forming of a pin-ticket having two pins made of the same piece of wire, each of the pins having a round point and a double shank and the means for holding said pins in engagement with the ticket.

In the drawing, forming a part hereof,

Figure 1 is a perspective view of the wire forming the pins, showing the form it is in when in engagement with the ticket;

Fig. 2 shows the upper side of the ticket with the pins attached thereto; and

Fig. 3 shows the underside of the ticket with the pins attached thereto.

In the drawing, AA represents the double-shank pins formed of a piece of wire bent upon itself at two points to form the two pins with round ends, the shank A of the pin being formed of two pieces of wire lying close to each other, as shown. At a predetermined point that portion of the wire connecting the two pins is bent to form the member B adapted to lie on one side of the ticket, as shown in Fig. 2, and then folded over on the edge so as to form the member C to lie on the underside of the ticket, as shown in Fig. 3, said member 0 being connected by a member D on the underside of the ticket. The shank of the pins passes through the ticket and the free ends are bent so as to form the members EE lying on the upper side of the ticket, and the members F-F lying on the underside of the ticket, the extreme ends of the wire passing through the ticket so as to permit the members FF to lie on the underside.

In the tickets formed in this way two pins are provided, with rounded points, made of one piece of wire, which are rigidly held in engagement with the ticket.

Having described my invention what I claim is if 1. A pin-ticket having a plurality of round-pointed double-shank pins formed of a single piece of wire, the wire between said pins being bent so as to engage with the upper and under sides of said ticket, the free ends of said wire extending along one surface of said ticket and in engagement therewith and passing through openings in the ticket and engaging with the other surface of the ticket.

2. A pin-ticket having a plurality of round-pointed double-shank pins formed of a single piece of wire, the wire be tween said pins being bent so as to engage with the upper and under sides of said ticket, the free ends of said wire extending along one surface of said ticket and passing through openings in the ticket and engaging with the other surface thereof and so arranged that portions of the free ends are substantially parallel to a line extending from one of said pins to another.

In testimony whereof, I have signed my name to this specification, in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.

W'ILLIAM LIVINGSTON.
